Third son of Lith Sillin Growl-Lye, steward to Unther's evil archduke Dagard the fifth. He is banned from the castle and the whole domain at the age of 6 for saving test-kitten from drowning in the palace pond- a far to good act for the archduke to tolerate, thus learning very young to mistrust everyone. He is raised by a troupe of wandering halflings, but grows more and more discontent with the world and his position in it as he nears adulthood. At age 21 he leaves his troupe and travels to Narfal in search of a famed halfling seeress dame Eva, hoping she can look deeper into his fate.
In Belgorod he learns that Damara - a county he must pass to get to Narfal-is in turmoil, not afraid of fighting evil he gets on his way together with a warmage who has business in Barovia. They meet Piotr and Ilonka, brother and sister who are fleeing for a vampire lord, an army of werewolves and undead and the queen of winter. Barely have they arrived in Barovia, made camp in the local tavern and met a small troupe of adventurers or at nightfall they are attacked. Having no experience with undead fighting Llewyne is tricked into heroics and soon falls. "Luckily" he is stabilised and bitten by the vampire overlord Mikhael.
Having already an immense hate for the forces of evil that try to control him, Llewyne seeks to redeem himself and destroy Mikhael, he volunteers for the undead army that as one of four parties in the Alliance besieges Belgorod. Chosen as part of an elite gang that must kill king Vasilli he sees his chance, sneaks into the castle and tells the king of the conspiracy, the king was apparently aware of it (having his own spies in the enemy camp) and he is asked to lead the murderers into the trap. Due to bad timing, he manages only to take the spy, Gareth and Vladislav Mikhael's minion to the king's bedroom. Failing to take immediate action he is turned and must flee to his coffin in the woods. After regeneration he once more tries to strike a deal with king Vasilli, offering his lifetime services if after the war and Mikhael destruction he may be ressurected and permitted a month's leave to travel to Narfal and learn more on his life from dame Eva.
